Prech that mate. Been thinkin about doin another 1 of these lately. It was def fun mixin this. Thanks for stoppin by. Later on!

Yeah, I think this is diff from what most folks do. A true experiment in sound. No rhyme or reason, just a bunch of tones. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

That might work... Dunno, never pictured this as an industrial piece before though. Anywho, drums are my forte, ay!? Thanks for stopping by. Later on!

Prech that mate. Twas at the peak of my demo track experimentation days. I'm kinda suprised that it hasn't gotten that much feedback. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Oh, you'd be surprised mate. Best example I got now is how I broke away from my current pyramid style build-up/down w/fades style on my older track *Rip It. I had copied everything from the first 5 or 6 channels & had positioned them slightly down the timeline (so I wouldn't have to worry about it later). When I finally built the song up to where I had put 'em everything just seemed to fit together perfectly (and it was a pretty sweet fade-to-a-boom-backatcha way of building the song back up).
The Ross ref is something I've grown fond of due to my experience with 'Art-snobbery' in school. Everyone acting so overly serious with it sometimes (ie, never use this color with this other color). In a way, that kind of thinking leads to very stylized, even cold/mechanical works of art. And to me, that betrays the very essence of "Art" or should I say, creativity, ya know? IMO, making art should be relaxing & pleasing, a fun experience (kinda hard to do when we're being all rigid about it). In a way, 'Happy Accidents' has become my sort of mission statement (go forth and do, eventually it'll seem right). I just used it below to point out the same thing that Flynn did to Tron in 82- "There is no grand plan..." Its how I normally fly, ya know? Mmmkay, thanks for stopping by & later on!

I can't recall Bar, it was so long ago. This was done in my relative infancy with music. Didn't know much about programing & looping. I also didn't know any musicians that were into the same styles as me. All I had was they keyboard & the one soundfont (it was also recored at around 5am too). In that moment I was out on my front porch sitting on an in-table using the arms of an Adirondack chair as my stand with old clunky Koss headphones to drown out the sound). Took me about maybe 2 hours of tinkering and around 3 takes to get it the way it sounds now. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Nice toon mate, thanks for suggesting it. As for this one, yeah I had a whole mess of fun making it. I kinda had a feeling it would be going all the way back (years ago) when I first heard Elaine's original. Glad ya dug it mate. Lates!

Cool deal mate, lemme know if ya do anything with this coz I'd love to hear it. And I'm also glad that it inspired your inner artist. Later on!

Prech that mate. Keep bangin on!

Prech that mate. Kept this track simple. And you know me (sorta). Was prolly just the dif name that threw ya off. Later on!

Yeah, my mind was sorta picturing a trippy flashing screen of the various 8-bit classics. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Cinematic might be a fair categorization, because this was made for both a general audience (the class) and was a large homage to the film, Tron. Funny thing that, because I have the most fun doing tracks like these (maybe its in my blood). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, this was somethin I was playin with ages ago. I was kinda wantin others to play with it, but that hasn't really happened so I might go back n tweak/extend the vox I added (just so it can be more finished, ya know?). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Glad ya dug it mate. Was tryin sumfin new here, be sure to check out Splish's version, coom? Later on!

I heard that. Course the movie that inspired this was about a guy trapped in a computer world playing video games. The game you described kinda reminds me of the old NEO-GEO game, 8 Man (based on the Japanese comic/movie). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. Ya know, this one is open for collab. So if you were wanting to take this & add those things ya mentioned above, you'd be more than welcome to. I also love how flex this is (stand alone or with other things). Glad ya dug it. Lates!

Great advice mate. This was more of an experiment than anything else. Was mostly wanting to get the gist of the 'flow'. Now that I've got that down the next one I do will incorporate a wider range of stuff. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I agree. Was just sorta messin around with this one. Will def make the next one fuller. Cheers!

Yeah, it was just a spur-of-the-moment kinda thing (expanding off of the old one). As for the track, cool comparison mate (woulda never thought it). It was a break from the main (bulk of what I was mixing back then). Glad ya like it. Later on!

Yeah, I think we're all in agreement there (this needs moar, haha, but srsly I will be here in a few days... as it needs something extra). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sweet deal mate. Def give it a go if/when ya can (it'd be nice to hear someone do a mix of this). And I defo had fun when I was making this (like, how often do you get to jam out while lyin in bed). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I can see where yer comin from there in relistening. When I go to rework this I might punch them down some and add a mirrored layer of something softer to act as the main instead (or might just flip-flop between both of 'em). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Cool deal John. It'd be really nice to see what someone could do with this (since there hasn't been any takers yet).
As for the track, since I don't mess with my instruments nearly as much as I do my DAWs the solo'd thing stands out a bit more coz I don't have anything else accompanying what I'm doing (not even a metronome, which is kind of apparent in this one). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks John. I did this during a time when I was trying a different approach to mixing (the constant drum fades). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah I hear ya. I guess that's was my way of commenting on how 'history repeats itself'... All you can do is kick back, smile, and accept it (no sense of trying to ice skate uphill, ya know). Cool comparison BTW (woulda never thought of that). Glad ya dug it. Later on!
